How to treat puts <value> as pure text - not a command

Hi,
I'm reading from a file, line by line, using 'gets $infile in_line',

then depending on the contents of the line, it may get processed before
being written to a file or wriiten out as 'raw' info - using 'puts
$outfile $in_line'

I'm hitting problems with the contents of the line, when I try to write
it out to file, if it contains '{' or '}' the script complains - I
suspect it is reading it has a special character, rather than pure text
- just something to write out to file.

How do I get puts to treat every thing as 'pure text' ?

Regards

Steve
